Joe and others, Thank you all for your help. A friend pointed out that's probably a Golden Raintree (Koelreuteria paniculata). I looked up pictures on the net that he recommended (http://www.cnr.vt.edu/dendro/dendrology/syllabus/factsheet.cfm?ID=296 ) and it looks like a good match. Another web site says this plant yields 100-200 kg/ha when there are very few other blooms for bees to forage. Definitely, a good choice for the ornamental suburban garden/yard.
